Minnesota is a top DLCC Battleground State in 2026.

Minnesota is on the frontlines of standing up to the Trump Administration, and 2026 is a historic opportunity to build power and deliver majorities in both chambers in this key state.

When voters elected a Democratic trifecta in 2022, Minnesota DFLers moved swiftly and protected reproductive rights, passed paid leave, and provided free breakfast and lunch for all public school students. Election after election, the DLCC has been on the frontlines supporting Minnesota DFLers as they prevent GOP majorities in the most competitive state legislative chambers in the country.

Meet the DLCC’s Minnesota Target Race Candidates

The DLCC is launching 32 Target Races across the battleground state of Minnesota for control of the House and to retain the majority in the Senate. DFLers are leaving no turf unchallenged and have recruited candidates to run in every district for the first time ever. A DFL-led legislature will provide a bulwark against the chaos from the Trump administration, and put Minnesota DLFers on the strongest possible trajectory ahead of redistricting in 2030 to foil any Republican attempts to rig state maps. The DLCC is all hands on deck to help fund the strong campaigns and infrastructure needed to reach voters and win both chambers in November.
